    Many concede as inevitable that work should be miserable.

    Yet, some even still cast shame on those who emphasize the misery it causes.

    Meanwhile, among those who describe work as miserable, it is common to assume the reason as being that work involves effort, rather than that work, at least the way it is generally imposed, requires the worker being subordinated.

        Why do you describe certain jobs, such as the ones you chose to mention, as being inherently miserable?

        The motive for my observation was to provoke reflection over the essential factors determining how we experience work.

            You provided two different names, each representing collections of ideas and objectives that are extremely general and often nebulous or ambiguous, and you complained that someone is pursuing one to the detriment of the other.

            No more is plain from the text you wrote.

            I am asking you to offer further details over how you personally are understanding the particular terms, and perceiving the conflicts.
